2010 too late for new planes, government document shows
A secret timetable obtained by The Globe and Mail show that the first four Canadian transport would arrive only in 2010 and not 2008 as claim by the government.
This contradicts the government claim that new transports are needed by 2008 as the C-130s are falling apart.
The decision to buy 16 new transports seems to favour the C-130J as it can be delivered in 2008 but latest revelation show that the A400M can meet the requirement as well.
Airbus said that it could deliver the A400M in 2010.
